One apolitical rule I've learned to live by:

Online or in real life, I picture if someone I just met can speak the phrase "I'm interested in what you have to say" in a normal tone of voice. If they can, that's a great sign. If not, uh-oh. I hope to give the same thing back.

A few really shocking moments USA vs Belgium left us all deflated and wondering “why” and “how.”

But enough about Gianni Infantino and Jeff Bezos getting their screen time.

I like how the "for senate" watermark was kept. Made it easier to figure intent.

I'm sad they never got to play a Christmas Day game in Mannheim.
I'm researching old NBA teams and I've fallen in love with the Providence Steamrollers. What a great name, what a great logo. Just perfect. (Also, they still have the record for fewest wins in a season with 6)

Here I'm reminded of the wise words of an MTV cartoon philosopher: "Beavis, just because something is cool doesn't mean something else doesn't suck"

And just because someone does one thing cool doesn't mean...

...we can't enjoy it and still remember we owe them nothing!

Egypt 0-1 always reminds me of this clip. SportsCenter from the 80s. Egypt not mentioned til the end but the beginning is great too.

Still processing the passing of Daniel Naroditsky, 29, American chess grandmaster. He was smart and funny and I learned so much from him, whether he was commentating on PogChamps or the FIDE World Team Championships. I thought I would have many years to learn even more. RIP.

It sucks, on other sites, ppl you have neat stuff in common w/ & thought "no way they're MAGA" turning out to be MAGA.

But surprisingly a simple "I'm sorry you share these views" has actually pushed me into doing something I meant to.

I thought it'd be a lot tougher or complex to break away.

archive.org has let me re-read some favorite Choose Your Own Adventures from my youth. One favorite that held up well: Outlaws of Sherwood Forest by @ellenkushner.bsky.social. Time travel, summer camp to 12th century AD. She's done bigger & better work since then, but daily act of gratitude etc. 1/2

Moving to BlueSky from Twitter has been weird. It's reminded me of being free of some people I disliked.

Or was I necessarily?

I still catch myself going back to twitter, hearing that voice saying "but bluesky is just a huge validation circle."

(1/2 good response I hope in next post)

I have followbacks to catch up on but I am too lazy to vet. (There is a nice pile but not that money.) So in the meantime, enjoy (I guess) this topical and not-too-forced palindrome:

Hey! Car, cots, I: kakistocracy. Eh?

I've noticed a few posts at DailyKos saying "I'd like to come over to bluesky" so if I sent you a follow today (11/13 noon central) that's probably why.
November 13, 2024 at 5:53 PM
Woke up to 25 alerts in my notifications. This is probably unsustainable -- but it struck me.

I'd need to buck myself up for potential trolls over there. Here, I felt buoyed enough to go get stuff done.

So, yes, good morning all, both new follows and old, from here and there...

Not that I have a huge following, but I will be coming back to this. So I'll try to amplify it.

My first quote post, for one of the reasons I still stayed on twitter, who made their way over here. Yay!

So I just reported my first spammer here, who posted nonsensical "greetings."

On the one hand, it's good to feel useful. On the other hand, I hope it doesn't become too common an occurrence.

I'm hoping the moderation team does better than That Other Place.
